Hello! I am playing along with the Freshly Made Sketches 400th Challenge.
I began by finding the patterned paper that I wanted to use. I still have A LOT of patterned paper. I chose Pebbles Seen & Noted. This is an older pad with great coordinating patterns and colors. I used basic shape dies to cut the three patterned paper pieces.
For the focal image, I went through my butterfly die sets and chose the Memory Box Moonlight Butterfly. I cut the body and antennae from solid papers in the Pebbles pad.
The butterfly was lost against the patterned papers, so I cut a vellum circle to quiet the pattern behind the butterfly. I adhered the butterfly to the circle with glue and the assembly to the patterned paper pieces with foam adhesive.
The sentiment – Pinkfresh Studio Word Series: Thanks – was stamped with Espresso Truffle ink. I don’t have a lot of occasion to use that ink color but I felt that stamping in black would be too harsh with the other colors.
I added three enamel dots in gold (another product of which I have a lot of inventory) in the upper-right corner.
Supplies:
Bright and colorful take on the sketch Jean. Fabulous.
What a happy card!! LOVE the pretty colors and papers you chose for this!
Ooo – just love this sketch and what you did with it Jean!! Great combo of patterns and perfect idea to use the vellum circle behind your butterfly. Fabulous card!!
Great card. Great colors and everything goes together so nicely!
Love the beautiful colors! The plain butterfly with the vellum behind it works so well against the patterned paper. Great idea!
Love your take on the sketch, Jean! You used those patterned papers so well and I love the bright and cheery colors. Well done, beautiful card!
Hey Jean!! That is some of my favorite all-time paper. I still have a stash!!! This is a perfect way to show it off – with that simple little butterfly on top. Thank you for playing along with us at Freshly Made Sketches.
Stunning!
